Think the tariffs are bad? Keep you eye on what really matters -- how corporations will use this moment to profiteer, and how our govenrment doesn't seem to care enough to stop them. noraloreto.substack.com/p/ok-but-wha...

dark times indeed, but still laughing that one of the week’s big stories was an Chinese AI company being like “oh a bullshit machine? we can make that, no problem” and it blew up the stock market

Climate change is a huge problem and everyone should do what they can but I strongly believe blaming individuals instead of corporations is a corporate tactic to obscure the key causes, create personal guilt, and discourage people from organizing for real progress.

Great new piece from Nora here. As someone right in the middle of the Millennial generation, this puts to words a lot of the feelings I have but don't have the vocabulary to express myself.

HOOOOOLD UP. The biggest game of the year was made by someone here in Saskatchewan?!? That's so cool! The anonymous "LocalThunk" is truely a local. uk.news.yahoo.com/secretive-ga...

I wrote about the reaction to the shooting of a CEO. "It seems to me that when you create a world where human life has been made as cheap as possible, you will eventually find you live in a world where your human life is deemed by others to be cheap, too." www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...

You know... I think that might have something to do with it.

I would never in 1 thousand years use the term "tech savvy" but alright blueskyroast.com/roast/jordda...

On top of the things I do here (which is uh... doom scrolling mostly?) I also maintain a blog (still!) where I mostly post about boring technical nerd shit, like all the things you can do with a Home Server. If you are not into very nerdy and/or very technical things... DO NOT KEEP READING.

Wow, I never thought I'd see one of Elon's rust magnets here in Saskatoon.
